Does anyone else find the urge to meddle with other countries just to make the world look like they want it to? :p I find the majority of my wars nowadays is simply to help countries form or expand their borders...

Maybe it's just because I've played this game sooo many times :p and the usual goals get boring :p

Haha reading your post and looking at your avatar, cant help but notice some interesting similarities.

And yes youre not the only one. Sometimes id get in a war vs some country somewhere and i would beat it just for the lulz and force release some revolter, only to get pissed off a few years later as they get into some stupid war and get annexed again. In those situations i just wanna go orc style "waaaaaaaaaaagh!111oneone".

I'm kind of biased when I play. For instance, I really like Sweden, Lorraine, and Naples, because my most fun campaigns have been with them (and I'm Swedish and Italian XD) so usually I will ally with Sweden and Naples and guarantee Lorraine and protect them xD it's kind of weird. As England, I could tell Sweden was a lucky nation. We were allied, and I fought all of their naval battles for them in the Kattegat-Baltic XD they strangely went crusading and took over Morocco and got into a lot of wars with Castille and the Africans, and I would keep all of them from sailing to Scandinavia.

Yeah, I'm sort of a meddler in the way that I usually fight numerous containment wars. The most common target in these wars is Austria, but it can also be England/GBR, Bohemia or Castille (rarely France). It's about the balance of power. :p

The game mechanics make it difficult. You can't just force a country to give land to another, unless they're your ally AND they've actually taken the land. All too often though AI allies will simply peace out early on.

Plus if you actually manage to succeed in creating a nice-looking allied state...they will simply blob up and get ugly again.

Yeah but that means your rival constantly changes :p it won't happen all the time but with someone like Germany or France it will which I don't really mind...

Well why care. I say, scrap them down, and make balance of power, by being the only power, and rest scattered or unexistant.


Best balance of power, is when all countries are divided into small pieces, all except you. This make thing balanced for you XD.

Rivals are annoying, constantly bugging you with them warmongering. I say kill them if you can, and if you can't at least hurt them bad as you can.
